My son requested "Chalupas like Taco Bell" for his birthday, and these seemed pretty close. I made my own taco filling, and served them with the taco spiced ground beef, refried beans, shredded lettuce, cheese, tomato, fiery salsa and freshly made guacamole. They were outstanding! My son proclaimed, " A million times better than Taco Bell." I should hope so!

Wow! This looks a lot easier than making the Fry bread from scratch Which is what I usually do, and it's so annoying I only do it a couple times of year. I will have to try this one! Thank you Chef Dee.

Our church youth group sells these all the time for fundraisers and they are always a hit! One hint is to poke a small hole (with your finger) in the center of the flattened dough before frying it. It helps it to fry completely and not get a big bubble in the middle. We also use plenty of onions on ours as well as garlic in the meat too. Thanks, Chef Dee for posting this recipe!

These are also called Indian fry bread tacos. They can be made vegetarian by replacing the ground beef with one 15oz. can chili beans or pinto beans.Simply drain most of the liquid add a little oleo, butter, or vegetable shortening and taco seasoning mix and heat until hot. Then proceed with step 7, when bread is done frying. This fry bread can also be made sweet, into what the US county fairs call Elephant Ears. Follow Steps 1.2.4.5.and 6. Then sprinkle with Confectioners sugar(icing sugar) or Confectioners sugar AND Hersheys chocolate syrup.(syrup for making chocolate milk) Talk about something deep fried and smothered in chocolate!
